Hi, where did you take those grad courses? Thanks!

I took one from MTSA and the other from TESU. Both were online and asynchronous!

I feel it went well! I showed up an hour before my time. When I walked in, there were two 1st year students waiting to greet us. They answered all of our questions and gave us a tour. Some people went on tours 1:1 and others went in a small group. It just depends on if you show up at the same time as someone else. I got to see the classrooms, sim lab, and library. When it was time for my interview, someone came out and brought me back to the interview room. It was 15-20 minutes and then I left right after.

Glad it went well! Did you have a "testing" part that was mentioned in the recording from the program director?

I didn't! I did ask on the way out and they said they decided against it this year!

Hi, for those who had their interview, were the questions mostly EI or clinical? Also, anybody else interviewing via zoom?

Hey! I am really thinking of applying next year, and I am already stressed about the interview. What were the clinical questions like if you don't mind sharing. Thanks in advance!

I am not supposed to say what the questions were, but generally you should study the pathophysiology of ICU illnesses/conditions down to a cellular level and the pharmacology of ICU medications down to the cellular level! Also be able to go in depth about patients you have cared for! Since you have a lot of time until you will be interviewing, I would get a journal and write down the conditions your patients have and what meds they are on and deep dive into them! CRNA school prep academy recommends doing that to prep for interviews and I wish I knew about that sooner! It would have made it a lot easier to study! Good luck!!

There wasn't one for me! I did mine in person.
